Challenge, Day 2

.
So day one of my challenge (yesterday) went splendidly.

Today poses a bit of a hiccup, however - I'll be going out to dinner with some friends. Appetizers! Beer! Entrees! One of my friends, who is also on weight watchers, and will also be at dinner with us, made a good point a few days ago - we're there for the fun and the company of good friends. It's not always all about the food and drinks.

I looked at the menu and decided on:

Summer Salad: Butter Brook Farms Greens and Tomatoes, Corn, Cucumber, Grilled Onion, Brioche Breadcrumbs, Sweet Basil Vinaigrette.

Most of the menu items I can't eat anyway, because the main ingredient is some type of meat. I'll get the dressing on the side and ask for no breadcrumbs, and I should be good to go - I'm guessing that with the corn and bit of dressing I'll use, the whole thing will be about 6 points, tops. Once breakfast and lunch are eaten, I'll have 10 points left for dinner, which means I can have a glass of wine at the restaurant, too =)

I discovered the most awesome lunch sandwich.

Joseph's pita bread has 60 calories, 2g fat, and 4g fiber per pita. And they taste really, really good. I took one of these, spread an entire quarter cup of this in it:

(Except I used the garlic kind, not the artichoke spinach). I also threw in some freshly minced garlic (yeah, I'm a garlic fiend), and some fresh, cut up red peppers.

It's a two point sandwich that really fills you up! Craziness. Considering that I was eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches which weren't as good at staving away the hunger, yet were SIX points each - this is really awesome. I'm thinking of buying some sprouts soon to add to the sandwich, and using other veggies to throw in there too. Lettuce, tomatoes, onion..... Om nom!
